I've used a pic from a professional photographer as today's header pic and would like link it to his site using a widget (click through) other than the standard blog roll widget - I've tried the text widget but all I get is text -
The blog I need help with is petebowes.wordpress.com.
Have you tried creating an HTML link in your text widget? The standard format for links is as follows:<a href="the-website-you're-linking-to" title="the-title">Link Text</a>
tried that micah by just copying and pasting the site address - but all I get in the widget is the address text, not the actual link
@peterbowes
You can use an image widget or a link in a text widget. IMO the image widget is the best choice.
Let's try that again: <a title="the-title" href="the-website-you're-linking-to">Link Text</a>
What I would do is create a thumbnail and place it in an image widget.
If you don't want to do that then use the text widget.
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

Not to worry. We all have wwird days and I tend to have more than most. When frustrated remember to laugh, as it releases endorphins we all desperately need more of.
